Once Secured, a Heavy-Duty Padlock Holds the System in Place

Most high-quality container locks are fully enclosed within a protective steel housing that shields both the lock body and shackle from angle grinders, saws, and other burglary tools. The matching key is the only way to reopen the lock. While users can freely choose which padlock to use, we recommend high-end padlocks with hardened components and premium lock cylinders to withstand lock-picking attempts—delaying intruders long enough for discovery to become likely.

In our shop on Kronsguard.de, every container lock is available as a complete set including a suitable padlock and 2–3 keys. Alternatively, all locks can be purchased without a padlock, allowing customers to use an existing one. It is essential to check the shackle diameter and overall lock dimensions for compatibility. We also offer keying configurations such as keyed-alike systems or custom master key arrangements—ideal when access to a container must be restricted to specific personnel. A master key option allows authorized individuals to unlock all container locks within a system. Our team at Kronsguard.de is happy to advise on all configuration options and on choosing the right container lock.

Certifications and Selecting the Right Container Lock Before Purchase

In general, the thicker, stronger, and more robust a container lock is, the harder it is to break open. Since container locks must withstand not only forced attacks but also harsh weather conditions, all container locks listed in our shop are corrosion-resistant and suitable for use in any environment. The required security level depends mainly on the value and sensitivity of the stored or transported goods. If the cargo is insured, certain certifications may be required or recommended. Your insurance provider can offer detailed information.

Some container locks are SCM or VdS certified, meaning the locking system and the corresponding padlock have undergone rigorous testing. There are also standards such as DIN EN 12320, which evaluates resistance levels including performance at temperatures as low as –40°C, shackle tensile strength, impact resistance, and torque resistance. Locks are classified into six security grades.

Additionally, some countries use their own classifications such as the Swedish SSF standard for container locks. The Omega container lock, one of the most secure products in our range, is VdS certified and classified under DIN EN 12320 Grade 4. The ABUS ConHasp Granit and ConHasp 230 are also VdS-certified and secure the padlock inside the container, providing enhanced protection for the included ABUS Granit padlock.

More affordable models such as DoubleLock or DoubleLock Medium are typically not certified but can still offer robust security comparable to higher-end models. Detailed information on certifications and security features can be found in the product descriptions on our shop.
